Tesco Masks in Pink and Black - matching pink scarf. Dress of the Day, pretty pinks, masked, 273.

 


I bought from a Tesco Express. 

Good Price
When I looked online, the only company I could find offering a cheaper set was Wish. Then you had to pay postage and wait for delivery. And there were disposable masks in sets of fifty with flowers. But this set from Tesco offered an instant choice. 

I went online to see what was available colourwise. You would search hours for pink and mostly find flowers which look wrong with stripes and dots and other patterns as well as being too fussy if you want to be businesslike at the office, and flowers are ditsy for daytime but not quite right at night. I liked this design fro Tesco, pretty, versatile and neutral. Goes with black and brightens up a black outfit.

Good Colours
Black goes with everything. I already had black. I wanted the pink, to lighten up a black outfit or, more importantly, to go with pinks. 


Not quite the same pink. Good enough? I reversed the mask to white.

I matched up the pale pink mask with dusky grey to a pink blouse. Matching colours, including pink, is quite hard to do. Pinks vary from palest baby pink through a pale coral or salmon, and a blueish pink to a dark magenta-y fuchsia. (The fuchsia flower is named after a man of that name. Note that the s comes after the ch.)

A two-sided cotton mask can be reversed to the white side. Unlike disposable masks which are supposed to be worn with the blue outside, because one side is waterproof. 

I often buy a set of three, or a reversible item, not expecting to use the two or three, but because a multiple purchase increases the chances that a multi-colour offer will include some colour I like or a bundle might include style I find useful.

The Matching Pink Scarf
The scarf is three shades of pink. Always handy to have multiple shades. If only one matches, you have to keep checking in the mirror and turning the scarf. Alternatively pin it - but the brooch could leave pinholes in a delicate fabric. Another option is a scarf holder, either a ring design, sometimes with the ring park hinged, and maybe with a clip to hold it firm when shut flat.  

Your Options
You can look for multi-shad scarves. Silk. Cotton. Chiffon.

Scarves
Mixed shade pink


Baby pink or peach chiffon - or buy both if you don't mind chiffon instead of the softer silk. But over a blouse, choose for appearance and price.

Pearl brooches on hat paired with M & S sweater with pearls. Dress Post 686 by Angela Lansbury

    Sweater embroidered with mock pearls matches my hat pinned with mock pearl brooches.  I had never worn this pale grey sweater  I thought pale grey was a boring colour and always opted for something brighter such as royal blue or bight red. However, as I re-folded warm winter tops to fit them into my crammed dresser unit shelves, this fell out. Was the universe sending me a message?  I thought, I don't remember ever wearing it.  I must wear it once. Just for a change.  Snow is falling outside in London. Now is its hour. I looked  at the decoration. Sequins! I had been searching for sequins to wear at New Year. This thick sweater would not match my red solid sequin evening skirt. However, it would match my knitted hat, which bore brooches with mock pearls. The Grey Marl Sweater M & S Collection. Size 14. a mixture of four fabrics, cotton.  As I had anticipated, the garment had pinned inside some spare sequins and pearls and rhinestones....

Stripey Red & White Socks, thigh high, and tights - outfit 679 by Angela Lansbury

  I bought a pair of knee high red and white stripe socks in St Luke's charity shop. At one pound or under, you can't lose much. (Their charity fundraising shops are in NW London in Hatch End, Harrow Weald and elsewhere.) Why did I buy the long socks, in hard to match, garish, childish, stripes - after hesitation and consideration? The Advantages Of Long Socks The  length was attractive, at this time of year. I often need long socks under a midi skirt. For warmth in winter. And not to show bit of bare legs above socks. To co-ordinate colours. Advantages and Disadvantages of Red and White Stripes I like red. It's fun. White can show dirt quickly.  Red and white is a bit restrictive. It will clash with patterns, only go with plain reds and whites. But under a table at dinner or on Zoom nobody else will notice. Nor will I. I will only feel them. If the socks are too tight, you might feel uncomfortable. At night, when you take them off, you might see red indentation lines acr...
